Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Wiz Khalifa received the Twitter ethering of a lifetime from Kanye West last night when he randomly decided to take issue with the latter renaming his album 'Waves'.

Yeezy didn't hold back, firing out a barrage of since-deleted tweets that took aim at Wiz's music, place in the hip-hop hierarchy and flow and ended with the caustic "you wouldn’t have a child if it wasn’t for me".

Kanye seemed to feel a little bad afterwards, and Wiz went off to lick his wounds, tweeting instead about the show he was playing that night in Argentina.

It seems at that very concert he decided to poke the bear again though, yelling during the climax of a track (I don't know which song, it's Wiz Khalifa): "F*ck Kanye!"

It remains to be seen whether Kanye will respond, be it on Twitter or with a diss track, but Wiz might have to try a little harder to get Ye to devote more of his time to him if he wants that boost in online streams. It worked for Meek Mill after all.
